The Caldwell Online Academy, an alternative virtual school, stands out with a 87.7% four-year graduation rate, on par with the district's high schools.
However, the data reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the schools, even within the same district, with some schools struggling more than others. Most of the schools have very high free/reduced lunch rates, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations. Additionally, smaller schools in the district, such as Horizons Elementary and Kings Creek Elementary, tend to have lower performance and rankings compared to their larger counterparts, suggesting they may face unique challenges in providing a high-quality education.
